A good person is kind, generous, loving, caring, humble, polite, smart, they are consistent with all of these traits ultimately makes them a good person. Being a good person is not that difficult to do.  Respecting others and their values is at the top of the values you have to do.  The golden rule also is important to being a good person "treat others the way you want to be treated." The goodness in a person is ultimately defined by the actions a person demonstrates.  Being a good person as a whole is difficult, for example, when Antigone defies Creon and buries her brother anyway, that is with a doubt an act of goodness, but she commits suicide at the end of the play so I would not consider her a good person as a whole. What I am trying to get at is that people are capable of doing good acts, but are ultimately good people in the long run.  I believe that is what are text gets at in all of the stories in this section, from Antigone, A Good Man is Hard to Find, and Good People.  Ultimately they all demonstrate good acts, but are not perfect, good people.
